New I disagree....
if, by some miracle, Saddam escapes his current trial, they'll use this as a back-up plan to keep him in jail and in the courts.

Saddam isn't getting out anytime soon (or anywhere near a camera).

New The invasion of Iran is....
a lot like Bush's invasion of Iraq

the trial of Saddam is shaping up as a farce (except for the defendant)
first they deny him effective legal representation
then they deny him access to the charges and evidence against him
they also have a court that was not constituted by any independent government
of Iraq

besides that Mrs Lincoln how was the play?

look at the trial of Milosevic for another case of modern 'justice'

New Modern? This crap is nothing new.
The next generation won't see it though; it won't get taught that way in history class.

Then THEY'LL talk about 'modern' justice.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New So, uhm, are you saying I should re-evaluate my picture...
...of the Nürnberg(*) Trials?

That's a temptation I'd rather not be exposed to, if you see what I mean...



(*): "Nuremberg", to some furriners.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

New Ja, I do know what you mean.
And the fear that the 'wheels of justice' would not grind fine enough to suit the world's visceral reaction to the camps in Germany was probably there.

Saddam was a bad man; he probably deserves death. It's also true that Western governments that participated in his overthrow cannot afford even the chance that any kind of clemency is granted to him - and most governments have escaped justice too many times to trust in any kind of certain outcome even if the target is actually guilty. The result? Stacking the deck.

It's human/political nature to do it; it also makes me want to vomit sometimes.

perhaps

the Allies did warn the Axis that there would be
an accounting when the war was over
but other than that
it was basically victors justice

then again

the Saddam trial is not victors justice
just puppet justice
